The Sun Herald | 09/03/2006 | Quick draw of the slow drawl

The Sun Herald | 09/03/2006 | Quick draw of the slow drawl: "am tired of people making fun of the way I talk. It's so humiliating how folks will just walk right up to me and mockingly spit my words back into my face.

There seems to be an unwritten rule in the universe that the drawl of Southerners is fair game for the wicked of heart. I have never heard a Southerner gather up the odd-sounding enunciation of someone from Long Island or Boston and throw the words hatefully back in their faces.

We're much kinder than that. We wait and do it behind their backs."

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!!!
